Where are my downloaded files?

microsoft.public.windows.vista.file management

Okay, I researched this in RC1 and got some suggestions as to typing path
names for files I download that are not visible in my Documents folder
(sandbox was mentioned as the culprit). I now have the RTM and still cannot
see files I download. How do I set defaults in Vista so it doesn't hide my
downloaded files!?

and when you do download a file and choose save, it will give you the option to where you want it saved.
make sure you set the right path. or make a new folder called downloads in your documents folder.
